Notes

This is new to FBML v1.1.

This does not appear to accept a comma-delimited list of user ids like fb:if-is-user does. Request for

such.

Do not use this tag to display private or sensitive information. Content inside this tag is rendered to

all users' browsers, including those who are not one of the specified users. For those who are not one of

those users, the content is shown as white space on the page but it is still visible by viewing the page

source.

Content in this tag is also visible to the owner.
